Best Western Plus Seaport Inn Marks Post-Sandy Year

A year after Superstorm Sandy decimated Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, the Best Western Plus Seaport Inn is fully operational and even winning awards. The storm surge last year rose up to five feet and destroyed many of the businesses in Lower Manhattan. Like most business in South Street Seaport area, the lobby of the Best Western Plus Seaport Inn was flooded and destroyed. Within days of the devastation, General Manager ZB Moham and his team began major repairs.

Within 45 days after the storm, the hotel had a new lobby and was open for business. “As we mark the one-year anniversary of the storm, the hotel is flourishing and the area is revitalized with restaurants and shops open for business, including the Paris Café, Acqua Italian Restaurant and Mark Joseph Steakhouse,” said Moham. The hotel received three awards at the recent Best Western International Convention despite operating under such difficult circumstances.
